Trouble folding in linux

Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2015 5:35 am

I am trying to fold in linux and am having trouble. I have folded in linux without issue. I would love to get some help with the issue. Log is below. Hardware is an asrock h97m itx/ac, with a pentium g3258, and a nvidia 750ti.

I have googled BAD_WORK_UNIT (114 = 0x72) and it seems to be related to stability issues. I have done many stability test in windows on this same hardware and it was fine. I can fold in windows with out any errors. I uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia drivers and the error persists.

BAD_WORK_UNIT can happen because of stability issues, but a percentage of WUs are actually bad. There's no dependable way to determine which it is except to retry the WU on somebody else's hardware.

In this case, Project: 13000 (Run 672, Clone 9, Gen 76) was attempted by you and one other person and both failed rather quickly, indicating that there's probably nothing wrong with your system. Is the next WU processing normally?

That looks like the same old Maxwell / driver issue - what version are you running?
The latest drivers (346.35) seem to have it fixed so Maxwell can now again fold non-9201 core-17 WUs on linux (13000/13001 are only being sent out to 750ti but I think the 970/980 can process them too)

These errors have been going on for days. The client stops itself, but I keep telling it to try again. I can not fold at all on linux, it just gives me that error shown until the client gives up.

I installed 346.35 from the xorg edgers ppa. I was folding before on nvidia 343 drivers but those are not available anymore.

At that time, I only checked one WU. Since it was completed with an error, it was issued to somebody else and you would have been assigned a different WU. Repeated failures on DIFFERENT WUs does indicate a problem with your system, whether that's bad drivers or excessive overclocking or hardware that's actually defective.
